Our club sponsors an annual show and sale of model railroad cars, locomotives, trackage, parts, memorabilia, and clothing. Featured layouts from other clubs are always on display and contribute to the draw of patrons. 2026 is the 35th Annual Show and Sale for the BBMRA and we have grown to one of the largest shows in the Southeast.
Our club has embraced the development and utilization of T-Trak Modules for O-Scale, HO-Scale, N-Scale, Z-Scale, and T-Scale model trains. Our members merge their various modules together when building a running layout at train runs, meets, and our annual show and sale.
We enjoy face-to-face meetings such as this O-Scale group meeting to run trains and have a cookout. Lots of fun and a time to share stories and helpful tips.
